“He continues to grow every year,” Campbell said. “I’d say the next step for him, and he knows this, like last year he came to us and everything we wanted him to do in the offense he did and then he began to bring stuff to us as to, ‘Hey man, I can see this look. Let me get to this play. I know I have these options in the bag but let me get to this as well.'”

The Lions have a new offensive coordinator in John Morton, and though Morton is familiar with Goff and Detroit’s weapons having been the passing game coordinator on the Lions’ staff in 2022, Goff has been in it and lived it the last four years with this particular group.

DETROIT (WXYZ) — Loyola High School in Detroit, a private Catholic school for boys, is seeing some major improvements including a new chapel.

It’s big news for the city as it marks the first new Catholic place of worship in Detroit in more than 60 years.

On Wednesday, students, school leaders and community members gathered together to celebrate the grand opening of the new St. Peter Claver Chapel and the new Wayne and Joan Webber Welcome Center.

Both spaces are extensions of Loyola High School.

“It feels wonderful for me to still be in my initial weeks here and to be able to do something this joyful,” said Detroit’s new Archbishop Edward Weisenburger, who led Wednesday’s service in the new chapel.

Students now not only have a new entrance to the school, they also have a new facility for daily prayer and reflection whereas before, services were held in the gym.

“What this chapel means to me is I get to grow in my faith and my beliefs in God more,” Rommell Murry said.

The Archdiocese of Detroit told 7 News Detroit like many other dioceses around the country, they too have experienced a decrease in the number of parishes and church buildings.

“This is going to be a blessing not just for a 100 or 150 young men at a time; this will be a blessing for the whole community,” Weisenburger said.

Deborale Richardson-Phillips, Ph.D., Loyola High School’s first female school president, agrees.

“Loyola High School is part of the revitalization of the Detroit area,” she said. “This chapel, and certainly our welcome center, will give people the opportunity to welcome people into our home in ways that we haven’t before.

Everything in the chapel — the chairs, piano and pieces on the chancel — was donated, and school leaders say it’s the community’s support that made it happen.

“This remarkable addition to our campus would not have been possible without the generosity and vision of those of who supported Empower Loyola,” Richardson-Phillips said.

A campaign generated more than $9 million in donations. Cynthia Webber Helisek was one of those donors.

“It took no thoughts whatsoever to say yes to the projects,” she said.

The welcome center is named after her uncle Wayne and aunt Joan Webber, who were big supporters of school — and so is she.

“Most importantly, I want the boys to know they are very valued in this space, and they deserve a beautiful space to learn,” Helisek said.

DETROIT (FOX 2) – An SUV crashed into a building just before 9 a.m. on McNichols in Detroit Tuesday.

Security videos were rolling when it careened into The House of Praise Deliverance and Outreach Ministries at the corner of Greenview.

The backstory:

Detroit police say the crash happened when the driver of a silver SUV tried to avoid another vehicle pulled out from Greenview in front of them on McNichols. The accident resulting in him crashing into the building.

“I heard a boom,” said Andre Bartell who works nearby, adding it is nothing new. “Each and every time it happens that building has gotten hit, probably eight or nine times.”

Minister Aaron Funches said there were no injuries.

“This here is a miracle of God,” he said. “When people say God is real, this is evidence –  because the person who actually went through this building, (you’d never know) he was in an accident. There were no bruises on him, no cuts.”

Minister Funches is the brother of the lead pastor at House of Praise.

“And it’s not the first time it happened, he’s (had this happen) several times – but never to this extinct,” Funches said. “This can be repaired and restructure but a life we can’t get back.”

And as members of the church community work to clean up, they are confident they will rebuild.
